Leaked documents show it was meant to be a use of force and to intimidate residents like we were already under Martial Law

The history books will not look back on this period proudly
Not if the department of education is eliminated, then it'll matter what state you live in that determines the content of the history books.
That's already an issue currently without DOE being eliminated.
For real. When I learned about the Civil War in elementary school, it was NOT about slavery.
I think most history books in the USA show how great the USA is to the world and ignore most of the awful shit the USA has done. So we already get fed bullshit
There’s a whole world outside of America that also have history books
The department of education isn't in charge of the world. Plenty of other countries will teach about the fall of the US democracy. Hopefully the US becomes somewhat like Germany when it comes to the attitudes about their past without the whole AFD party turning back time part.
The department of education is now known as the internet. The internet doesn't forget...if it doesn't want to.
Our history books will just whitewash this, just like we whitewash other embarrassing things this country has done. Do you think American textbooks will cover how America practices torture extensively?
Plenty has been written about the internment camps of Japanese internment camps, the Rosenbergs’ execution, the Red Scare /McCarthyism, etc.
I dare you to ask some random 19yo americans what mccarthyism is.
What about how American practice of torture?
I love it when people say this, have you read an American history book? Yall gloss over manifest destiny heavily, neglecting to even call it a genocide or call yourselves a colonial state because you want to maintain the "melting pot" ideology like it wasn't 99% white people doing the brutality. And then their great grandchildren have the audacity to think they're the "greatest nation on earth" because they got to steal a country and pollute it into the ground.
Um, you gave your timelines mixed up. There was no melting pot when the brutality towards natives and indigenous people took place
The melting pot idea came in the late 1800s as we welcomed immigrants to the country.
Have YOU read a history book lol
you realize the brutality towards the natives and indigenous people was still taking place in the 1800s right?
The trail of tears was from 1830-1850.
and we still have groups like the "knights of columbus" and the "daughters of the confederacy", which glorify what a bunch of murderous slaving genocidal assholes did.
This sounds like what a non-American thinks our history books are like without ever stepping foot on American soil
But they are such proud boys! /s
Who says we will have any truthful history books soon…..
This is literally tyranny isn’t it?
Pretty much. Its effectively Martial Law as well
Don’t forget to support our troops! (Obvi /s)
What’s that oath they all take say again?
Depending how far they want to take it, assuming the logical endgame, the troops can go fuck themselves if they choose to participate.
Wait until there are 10,000 more ICE agents roaming the streets kidnapping people
They’re just getting started
Now there's a waste of taxpayer money if I've ever seen it. This isn't fucking Fallujah where a show of force is needed against armed combatants. It's a... park.
Unfortunately, they have money to burn at this point. They couldn't wait to show off their new gear.
16th largest military budget in the world FOR ICE.
They're trying to intimidate and escalate.
Escalation 💯💯💯💯
I don't think things are moving fast enough for them
They're trying to start CW II or civil war 2.0 by tempting "we the people" to take the first shot so they don't look like the bad guys.
Jesus fucking Christ. They really need a turret gun on a all-terrain assault vehicle to catch guys selling shaved ice in the park?
Selling shaved pubs is a health hazard
Where are the “don’t tread on me” people?
This IS the dont tread on me people.
Driving the vehicles
Getting stepped on and cumming.
Who do you think all those unidentified ICE-like people are?
They are the racists, the preppers, the hardcore right wing 2A people who have now been empowered just like the brown shirts were.
They're just out there trying to find the Epstein files.
Idiots will happily cheer on a police state if they think it will “own the libs”.
Just reminding me want to vote blue.
I’ll never allow myself to vote red after trumps era. Never.
I can’t say I voted red ever but I certainly wouldn’t now, nor would I if I was a new voter.
People shouldn't choose the couch either.
Do you think given the way this administration is behaving that they are concerned with votes?
Straight up looks like a military invasion on US soil.
That's because it is.
Land of the free*
*only available to those who pay $5 million to Daddy
In the land of the free you must always have your papers ready.
Nothing shows freedom quite like our government oppressing citizens with military weapons!
Good job voting for this 🤡
This is a federal occupation. It is tyrrany and they need to be forced out.
The absolute worst person you know sees this video and says “Good!”
I’d be willing to bet $20 Stephen Miller has something to do with this
I didn’t respect military growing up. Then I learned more and started to respect them (last year). Now I’m back to square one.
Are there even riots anymore in LA? Or is this one of those “riots are dying down, send in more force to get them back out!”
It’s fucking Gilead.
This is the most un-American thing I have ever seen.
This is fascism. This is now America.
All this force for people committing MISDEMEANORS.
“Show of force” my ass. It’s laughable how much the military is trying to make us fear them and they can’t even do that properly. Traffic obeying 🤡
Remember when right wing conspiracy theorists were saying that Obama and then biden was going to militarize the police and bring in martial law? And that he was going to build camps to lock up American citizens?
Literal gestapo shit
This is so embarrassing and ridiculous
Show of Farce
Oathbreakers
These is how WEAK our country has become
Bring back the old MacArthur park with our local crackheads and gangs
People should yell "Oath breaker!" at their faces whenever possible
Why don’t they do something useful and help the people of Texas look for their missing.
This makes me physically ill.
If you support this, you are a FASCIST, full stop. You do not love America, you do not care about democracy, and you definitely don't give a shit about the Constitution.
Taking CA and NY will be the first obstacles. Then you jail any defiers.
The 2nd Amendment was intended to fight this exact scenario.
It's crazy to think they are making hundreds of thousands of people illegal on purpose to throw them into camps and the news isn't freaking the fuck out. I can't believe this is America. What a fucking nightmare
Is this not illegal and against everything the United States stands for
Dystopian shit. And people are cheering for it.
Dry run...they are conditioning us...
This is a fucking waste of money and power.
I don‘t know why they think this is intimating when we have seen 20 years of combat footage of people with less access to weapons destroying such convoys.
Millions spent on looking tough only to look like playing soldiers
Gestapo
Its gonna suck when LA starts intimidating them and people start getting free military humvees...
This is crazy! The real life destruction and the downfall of America and its values. Everyone who doesn’t realize it will soon enough. This is the new reality. We are here now. Dictatorship isn’t coming because it’s here right now and it’s only going to get worse.
They want confrontation to justify themselves
What? Armored trucks, Humvees, helos, but no tanks?
How are you gonna catch Santiago at Home Depot without tanks?
/s
Nice to see we've invaded ourselves. Jesus christ.
“Freedom of Movement” sounds like a military tactic exercised against an enemy. Like Freedom of Navigation Ops.
Get the fuck out of our state. We don't need or want you here.
PIGS OUT NOW
You show force. Call it a PHOTO-OP. That’s what this is.
On top of everything else a colossal waste of money. Absolutely pointless. Arresting grandmas and random home depot workers?!? Even if you are anti-immigration (which I’m not) this is the dumbest most performative shit of all time.
Where are all the militia 2A nuts whose went dream this is?
Doesn't seem very American
What a fucking waste of money
It’s so cool how they’re taking away my food stamps and health insurance so they can pay for military invasions on American citizens
"Quick. We need something to distract from the Epstein files."
"How about driving ICE through DTLA?"
"BRILLIANT!"
Yal-Qaeda has taken power over the people.
The US military has been deployed on it's own streets. Seems we had some rules against that at one point, didn't we?
Someone left a cake out in the rain?
The United States condemns this outrageous and blatant abuse, suppression, and intimidation to the people of …..
This fantastic show of democratic freedom!
How long before they buy some M2's and Mk19's to put in those turrets?
Everyone should read the blog post linked. The leaked documents are bonkers. If you live in LA you know how absurd the “threats” are.
Well obviously there were some extremely dangerous individuals reported to be here to warrant such personnel and hardware. I’m sure Los Angelinos will sleep better knowing their streets are that much safer
For clarity there were zero reports of arrests made here. This is some government efficiency indeed
ICE has budget of $50B (BILLION!) PER YEAR thanks to the big bigoted bill. They are going to want to spend all of it. This is what that looks like.
No American is as brave as tank man. 😢
Run them out, again, ladies!
These are the caravans they should be worried about
LMAO were doing actual show of force patrols AGAINST OUR OWN CITIZENS 💀💀💀💀💀 we are winning so fucking hard guys. Just wait until we’re doing low alt fly overs to blow the fucking windows out of all the cars and homes of poor people OMEGALUL WINNING
Fascists just got a bigger budget
Oh these people are military? I thought the micro penis convention was in town. Very possible it’s the same crowd anyway.
Comicon came early this year!!
Democracy now dead!
I’m shocked that people aren’t defending their neighborhood and taking action on this.
MacArthur Park is melting in the dark…
Ya'll need to start carrying around some jars filled with paint, in case of one of these mini-parades of tyranny shows up.
Just smallness expressed.
Such freedom 🙄
Cosplay cops.
Their planning documents show 1,000 protestors is enough to retreat
Land of the free guys
Dirt bikes (and a lot of them) should have rode in and out between those vehicles. An annoying amount of dirt bikes
The government is invading
What a bunch of losers.
I ain't intimidated at all and neither should the citizens. These guys are cowards deep down. Fight and keep fighting, don't give in to the fascism!
This was so lame. They wasted their time and money all to look like clowns while people in America are actually struggling. This is helping no one.
Look at all that fentanyl and all those ms-13 violent gang members in that...peaceful,boring city park with normal citizens just going about their day. Straight to jail.
...wait does one of those trucks have one of those crazy sound cannons on it!?

I wonder how much the value of each tank would pay towards the surgery of someone on Medicaid
Automatic five stars wanted rating after someone found a copy of the Epstein files.
They say it's a show of force, I see it as the same as some guy that's rolling coal.
Ken has invested way too much time and energy.
$$$$$$$$$
Welcome to the land of the free.
This is the bullshit you get when you sacrifice everything to the Military-Industrial Complex.
All the sweet, green icing flowing down....
America has finally invaded America.
Wasn't the anti-ICE party a month ago?
Egg them
They’re just police now and fuck the police.
When do all those armed civilians start fighting against tyranny and all that? Hmmmm?
The con came on January 29th. That's all.
WE JUST GOT PAID Y'ALL!!!!!
Got them government checks!! Now we roll it to La what's up!!!!????
"Land of the free"
America has lost its mind.
I'm literally shaking rn
Marines are now doing street takeovers to prove how “tough” they are. I’m sure our real enemies are shaking in their boots.
Hey vets and active duty service people: I don’t give a shit about your service any more and give no fucks for your sacrifices. And I’m not the only one who’s changed their mind about you chumps. You’re the puppets of a fat pedo dictator. Resign and keep your dignity or learn to live life hiding your “service” (to a weird orange idiot). No one’s giving you tools a job when you get out now. You’re fucked.
No more food stamps, so we can do this instead...
MAGAstapo!
I like “Gestupid” better personally
Magasreich
No more Medicaid so these guys can kill you and your neighbors.
And your dog!
I guess someone left the cake out in the rain.
Food stamps are a Communist ploy to strip people of their drive to succeed. This video is what true freedom from the Marxist agenda looks like. /s
We get this and thankfully the ultra rich got a tax break!
